Baby Jesus stories were late additions to early christian lore

[Bucky Ball]

There's some evidence that Paul had a type of temporal lobe epilepsy that closely fits those who have this kind of epilepsy.  They believe they're interacting with a god. 

Of course that would require the tales recounted in the Book of Acts to be true.  That's a leap I am not prepared to make.  Acts is nothing but late propaganda.

They also claimed he changed his name from Saul to Paul, (which in Latin means "small"). 
He could have been of short stature, and that also would make the "stand' thing make sense, (but it doesn't make sense if he's asking to have "the thorn removed", as even he would have known that's not about to change. The New Agey thing says he was "gay" ... and that's what it's about. They did not know about human sexuality, so that's a crock.
